Home Health Services in Wilkes-Barre, PA

Learn more about the benefits of home health services over other care options.

The average age of the American adult is increasing every year. With the population of seniors – elders over 65 years of age – expected to double (over 90 million individuals) over the next few decades, the median age in the United States will go up considerably. With more and more citizens in and approaching their senior years, the number of people facing age-related illnesses and complication will go up as well.

If all things remain constant, the majority of seniors will continue to desire home care versus moving to a nursing home. Comfort Keepers offers the home health services seniors require to make this desire a reality.

Why Utilize Home Health Services?

The primary goal of Comfort Keepers home health care is helping a senior maintain their independence, freedom, and quality of life for as long as possible. Through daily living task support and their trademarked Interactive Caregiving model, Comfort Keepers home health care personnel are able to maximize a senior's self-sufficiency, regardless of the reason home health care is required.

There are many reasons a senior may require home health care. For some, chronic or progressive medical conditions limit the capability to perform daily living tasks safely, if at all. For others, a sudden illness or injury may temporarily put them in a bind. Sometimes, it is more than just daily living support that is needed. In these cases, home health care may also include transportation support, personal care (bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting), and medication management. Of course, some seniors simply desire somebody to talk to, work out with, accompany them shopping, or so forth. Companionship services are also an important component of Comfort Keepers home health care supports.
